Any full side pics and front 3/4 pics of it with the deck on it?
just looked through lots (!) of recent pics - not one full side pic or front 3/4 pic. I guess I've been a bit focused on that bed. I'll take some pics this week!
 
Closest I gots. . .

There she is. Makes me want to head over and weld up those sides. Oh. Wait.. I can't weld. Back to the interior projects.
(thanks Rick!)
 
... in the meantime, I gotta admit - the flatbed without sides makes a killer work surface. With the lift, 33s... it's the perfect height.

I'm spending 15-45 min. every few days on the speaker box project (been slammed at work). But it's working out - measure, cut, order some speakers... measure, cut... order carpet... Only thing left to do is mount the front panel (well, cut the sub's hole) and build the recessed box for the amp. Then it's on to carpet and (gulp) wiring.

Any updates or fresh pics? Sure looks great!

Thanks @77CJ5! No updates at all. The little truck has opened a can-of-worms of projects...
- didn't plan on "restoring" it; but did.
- planned on her living outside; but that changed
- Didn't have room in the garage... had to make room.

Despite all the effort/time going into this truck, my main hobby is still riding bikes, and my side of the garage was already in use... no room for Patty.

Once it was clear Patty was worthy of a roof over her head, it was time to add some space. I bumped the garage back 12' giving me the total sq/ft of a 3-car garage; but the "shop" area is just for the bikes, tools - woodworking, mech, bike, etc.

Started moving in this weekend.

So ironically, because the truck caused all of this, there's been very little progress recently on the truck.

Boy do I approve this message. Nice job.

I know how that is! One project spawns about a million other things!

Really nice space for the "bike shop," though!
 
Thanks guys.

Patty should see some sparks in a couple days. The plan is to weld up the sides and bolt them in place. Gotta decide on powder (or paint) color for the side rails. This is a mockup of what we're building. On one hand, I think black will be simpler, cleaner. On the other hadn't, using the Creme (body color) may add some depth the bed.
